Abstract

Abstract: Previous studies on the Highly Sensitive Person Scale (HSPS) were primarily conducted in highly selective, mostly student populations. The objective of the present study was to examine the factor structure of the Dutch HSPS in the general population ( n = 998), prolonged fatigue ( n = 340), and chronic pain samples ( n = 283), and investigate its psychometric properties. The factorial structure of the HSPS was assessed by an exploratory factor analysis, followed by a confirmatory factor analysis. To this end, the overall sample consisting of 1,621 subjects was randomly split into two subsamples. The factor structure was subsequently confirmed in the general population, fatigue, and chronic pain samples separately. A bi-factor model, consisting of a general factor and three separate factors, provided the best fit to the data in each sample. The three separate factors, capturing different dimensions of sensory processing sensitivity, were labeled “Ease of Excitation” (11 items), “Sensory and Aesthetic Sensitivity” (5 items), and “Low Sensory Threshold” (5 items). Internal consistency was satisfactory. Distinct patterns of associations were found between these factors and (un)related personality constructs.

荷兰普通人群样本和两个临床样本中高敏感人群量表(HSPS)的维度和验证
摘要:以往对高敏感人群量表(HSPS)的研究主要是在高选择性人群中进行的,主要是学生群体。本研究的目的是检查荷兰HSPS在普通人群(n = 998)、长时间疲劳(n = 340)和慢性疼痛样本(n = 283)中的因素结构,并调查其心理测量特性。通过探索性因子分析评估HSPS的因子结构,然后进行验证性因子分析。为此,由1621名受试者组成的总体样本被随机分为两个子样本。因子结构随后分别在普通人群、疲劳和慢性疼痛样本中得到证实。双因素模型,包括一个一般因素和三个单独的因素,提供了最佳的拟合数据在每个样本。三个独立的因素分别捕获了不同维度的感觉加工敏感性,分别标记为“兴奋程度”(11个项目)、“感觉和审美敏感性”(5个项目)和“低感觉阈值”(5个项目)。内部一致性令人满意。在这些因素和(非)相关人格构念之间发现了明显的关联模式。

期刊介绍: Researchers, teachers, and students interested in all areas of individual differences (e.g., gender, temperament, personality, intelligence) and their assessment in human and animal research will find the Journal of Individual Differences useful. The Journal of Individual Differences publishes manuscripts dealing with individual differences in behavior, emotion, cognition, and their developmental aspects. This includes human as well as animal research. The Journal of Individual Differences is conceptualized to bring together researchers working in different areas ranging from, for example, molecular genetics to theories of complex behavior.
